A sample of magnesium metal reacts with hydrochloric acid solution to produce magnsesium chloride solution and hydrogen gas.

a)write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction and include phase designations.

The phase designations would be s for solid, aq for aqueous, and g for gas.

How do you do this?

Mg(s) +HCL(aq) --> MgCl(aq) + H2(g)

Would MgCl be aqueous?
